What is Utility Benchmarking?
• The act of tracking, analyzing, and reporting energy and water consumption and costs for a property or portfolio of properties, so that properties can be compared against themselves over time, and/or against others
• Considered a fundamental asset management practice
“You can’t manage what you don’t measure!” • An activity that brings benefits to owners, tenants,
funding providers, governing agencies, and the general public

What Can You Do With Utility Benchmarking Results?
• Understand how property/portfolio energy and water performance changes over time
• Identify top performing properties in a portfolio, as well as underperformers
• Compare property/portfolio performance against others
• Prioritize energy and water improvement efforts and investments to maximize impact
• Assess the effectiveness of investments made to improve energy and water performance

What are the Benefits of Utility Benchmarking? (Little Picture)
• Equip property owners with information needed to make strategic decisions regarding capital investments, operations and maintenance, and future budgets
• Stabilize assets • Maximize return on
investments • Improve services to tenants

• Reduce operating costs for owners, tenants

What are the Benefits of Utility Benchmarking? (Big Picture)
• Reduce waste of money and natural resources Did You Know? • Energy waste by U.S. households and businesses is valued at $130
Billion per year. • As a rule of thumb, building energy use can be cut by at least 20%
through cost-effective improvements.
• Increase energy independence and combat climate change • Preserve affordable housing and save taxpayer dollars • Support government research and development of better
policies, programs, and incentives • Support academic research

What is Driving Utility Benchmarking Across the Country?
• Widespread recognition of benchmarking as a best practice and a way to eliminate operational waste (money, natural resources)
• Growing number of state and local jurisdictions requiring benchmarking and disclosure of energy and water performance
• Some utilities requiring benchmarking as part of participation in incentive programs

What is Driving Utility Benchmarking Across the Country? (cont’d.)
• HUD voluntary initiatives • Better Buildings Challenge (BBC) • Green Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP) Reduction
• Existing and proposed HUD requirements
Regardless of program involvement, HUD strongly encourages all housing providers to practice utility benchmarking as part of their basic asset management activities.

Understand the Utility Benchmarking Process at a High Level
• Develop a sense of the major steps in the utility benchmarking process • Prepare Your Approach • Collect Utility Data • Use Benchmarking
Software • Enter the Data • Share the Results • Make Informed
Decisions
• Begin assessing the resources that you prefer to use for each of these steps • In-house staff • Summer interns • Third-party
consultants or service providers

Begin to Catalog Your Portfolio
• Start to record your portfolio’s characteristics: • Number of properties • Number of buildings per property • Number and type of utility meters at each property
• Locate resources already complete, such as HUD-52722 submissions and Utility Allowance Schedules

Introduce Yourself to Portfolio Manager®
• ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager® is a free, web-based software tool for utility benchmarking
• Currently used to benchmark more than 450,000 properties across the U.S.
• All properties can use Portfolio Manager to measure and track energy and water use intensity (consumption per sq. ft.), greenhouse gas emissions, and a range of calculated performance metrics

Introduce Yourself to Portfolio Manager® (cont’d.)
• Portfolio Manager offers advanced reporting functionality to help track and assess performance of properties and portfolios
• The ENERGY STAR 1-100 score is available for multifamily properties of 20 units or more • Allows properties to be compared to each other • Properties scoring 75 or above eligible for
ENERGY STAR Certification • Many third-party providers are sending data through
to Portfolio Manager on behalf of property owners – offering another pathway to facilitate benchmarking
• Extensive training resources are available at https://www.energystar.gov/buildings/training
